- Referring to
FIG. 1 , there is shown a schematic structural view of a device for detecting a missing element on a circuit board provided by some exemplary embodiments. The device comprises apositioning tray 11, adata processing assembly 12, alifting control assembly 13 and adetecting assembly 14. - The

assembly 14 is configured to move up and down between an initial position and a preset position under the control of thelifting control assembly 13, and send the detection data to thedata processing assembly 12 according to a contact state with elements on the circuit board to be tested at the preset position. - The device for detecting a missing element on a circuit board provided by some exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure has the following technical effects: the device for detecting the missing element on a circuit board comprises a positioning tray, a data processing assembly, a lifting control assembly and a detecting assembly, wherein the positioning tray supports and positions the circuit board to be tested, the data processing assembly sends a control signal to the lifting control assembly, receives the detection data sent by the detecting assembly, and compares the detection data with preset reference data to obtain a detection result of a missing element, the lifting control assembly controls the lifting of the detecting assembly according to the control signal, the detecting assembly moves up and down between an initial position and a preset position under the control of the lifting control assembly, and sends detection data to the data processing assembly according to the contact state with elements on the circuit board to be tested at the preset position, therefore whether there is any element missing on the circuit board can be quickly and efficiently detected; and compared with the optical detection method, the detecting device has the advantages of accurate and simple testing, low cost, improved efficiency and the like.
- In some of the above exemplary embodiments, a positioning origin, such as point O shown in
FIG. 1 , may be provided on thepositioning tray 11. The circuit board to be tested is placed on thepositioning tray 11 with reference to the positioning origin. The connection of thedata processing assembly 12, thelifting control assembly 13 and the detectingassembly 14 may be wired connection or wireless connection, and the present disclosure will take wireless connection as an example. Thelifting control assembly 13 is also connected with thedetecting assembly 14. Thedata processing assembly 12 sends a control signal to thelifting control assembly 13. Thelifting control assembly 13 controls the detectingassembly 14 to move up and down between an initial position and a preset position according to the control signal. When detecting missing elements, thedetecting assembly 14 is lowered to a preset position and sends detection data to thedata processing assembly 12 according to the contact state with elements on the circuit board to be tested. The detection data result may be, for example, that a predetermined position A and a predetermined position B of thedetecting assembly 14 are in contact with elements on the circuit board to be tested, while a predetermined position C of thedetecting assembly 14 is not in contact with an element on the circuit board to be tested. Thedata processing assembly 12 stores preset reference data, and after receiving the detection data, compares the detection data with the preset reference data to obtain a detection result of a missing element. For example, the preset reference data is that the position A and position B of thedetecting assembly 14 are in contact with elements on the circuit board to be tested, and the position C of thedetecting assembly 14 is not in contact with an element on the circuit board to be tested, then the detection data is consistent with the preset reference data, indicating that there is no element missing on the circuit board to be tested. If the preset reference data is that the position A, position B and position C of the detectingassembly 14 are all in contact with elements on the circuit board to be tested, the detection data is inconsistent with the preset reference data, indicating that there is an element missing on the circuit board to be tested at the position C. It can be seen that the device for detecting the missing element on a circuit board provided by some exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure can quickly and efficiently detect whether there is any element missing on a circuit board. Compared with the optical detection method, the present disclosure does not need an image acquisition device, and has the advantages of accurate and simple testing, low cost, improved efficiency and the like. - Optionally, the detecting
assembly 14 includes adetection panel 141 and a plurality of detection posts 142. - The
detection panel 141 has a plurality of through holes penetrating through thedetection panel 141, and each through hole is provided with adetection post 142 therein. Thedetection panel 141 is configured to be connected with the liftingcontrol assembly 13, drive thedetection post 142 to lift under the control of the liftingcontrol assembly 13, and be set to be at a first (electrical) level after thedetection panel 141 is lowered to the preset position, and be set to be at a second (electrical) level after thedetection panel 141 rises to the initial position. - Referring to the detection posts 142 shown in
FIG. 2 , each of the detection posts 142 includes aconductive block 1421 and aninsulative post 1422 connected to each other, and theinsulative post 1422 penetrates through the through hole and is assembled with the through hole in a transition fit manner. Alternatively, theinsulative post 1422 can slide in the through hole with damping and can stay at any position in the through hole. Theconductive block 1421 is configured to be electrically connected with thedata processing assembly 12 and send the first level to thedata processing assembly 12 when contacting thedetection panel 141, and send the second level to thedata processing assembly 12 when detaching from thedetection panel 141. Theinsulative post 1422 is configured to prop up theconductive block 1421 when contacting an element on the circuit board to be tested, so that theconductive block 1421 is detached from thedetection panel 141. - In some of the above exemplary embodiments, the detecting
assembly 14 includes adetection panel 141 and a plurality ofdetection posts 142, wherein thedetection panel 141 has a plurality of through holes therethrough. Each of the plurality ofdetection posts 142 comprises aconductive block 1421 and aninsulative post 1422, and theinsulative post 1422 penetrates through the through hole and is in transition fit with the through hole. When the liftingcontrol assembly 13 controls thedetection panel 141 to be lowered, thedetection panel 141 drives the detection posts 142 to be lowered. When thedetection panel 141 is lowered to the preset position, it is set to be at the first level. If theinsulative post 1422 contacts an element on the circuit board to be tested when thedetection panel 141 is lowered to the preset position, theconductive block 1421 is propped up to detach theconductive block 1421 from thedetection panel 141, as shown inFIG. 1 , and theconductive block 1421 keeps to be at the second level. If theinsulative post 1422 does not contact an element on the circuit board to be tested because the element is missing on the circuit board to be tested when thedetection panel 141 is lowered to the preset position, theconductive block 1421 is not propped up, and theconductive block 1421 is still in contact with thedetection panel 141. Since thedetection panel 141 is set to be at the first level, theconductive block 1421 is also set to be at the first level due to contact with thedetection panel 141 thus, the first level is sent to thedata processing assembly 12. The initial state of thedata processing assembly 12 can be set to be at the second level. When the first level is sent by theconductive block 1421, it can be determined that the element corresponding to thedetection post 142 is missing. - Optionally, the force of gravity on the
conductive block 1421 is greater than the resistance of theinsulative post 1422 to move in the through hole. - Since the force of gravity exerted on the
conductive block 1421 is greater than the resistance of theinsulative post 1422 to move in the through hole, theconductive block 1421 falls due to the gravity when thedetection panel 141 rises. Thedetection panel 141 contacts theconductive block 1421 when thedetection panel 141 rises to the initial position. - In some of the above exemplary embodiments, during reset, the lifting
control assembly 13 controls thedetection panel 141 to rise, and the gravity of theconductive block 1421 is greater than the resistance of theinsulative post 1422 to move through the hole, so that theconductive block 1421 can fall freely when thedetection panel 141 rises. When thedetection panel 141 rises to the initial position, thedetection panel 141 contacts theconductive block 1421. Thedetection panel 141 is set to be at the second level after rising to the initial position. After contacting thedetection panel 141, theconductive block 1421 is also set to be at the second level and the reset is completed. - Optionally, the
detection panel 141 is a metal plate. - In some of the above exemplary embodiments, the
detection panel 141 may be a metal plate, and the disclosure does not limit the metal material in detail, and can be set according to actual conditions. - It is possible to set the
detection panel 141 to be at a high level when thedetection panel 141 is lowered to the preset position, and to set thedetection panel 141 to be at a low level when thedetection panel 141 rises to the initial position. It is also possible to set thedetection panel 141 to be at a low level when thedetection panel 141 is lowered to the preset position, and to set thedetection panel 141 to be at a high level when thedetection panel 141 rises to the initial position. It should be noted that when thedetection panel 141 is lowered to the preset position, thedetection panel 141 is set to be at a low level, when thedetection panel 141 rises to the initial position, thedetection panel 141 is set to be at a high level, and a pull-up resistor is required to be provided at a pin where thedata processing assembly 12 is connected to theconductive block 1421, so that the pin of thedata processing assembly 12 is set to be at a high level in the initial state. - Optionally, referring to the
detection panel 141 shown inFIG. 3 , a plurality of the through holes are arranged in an array in thedetection panel 141. Alternatively, the positions of the through holes may also correspond to the positions of elements on the circuit board to be tested. - In some of the above exemplary embodiments, the
detection panel 141 may be provided with through holes arranged in an array, for example, as shown inFIG. 3 . The through holes are arranged in an array in thedetection panel 141, and according to the different positions of elements on a circuit board to be tested, the detection posts 142 can be arranged in through holes at positions corresponding to the positions of the elements. In this way, thedetection panel 141 has more universality and can be applied to circuit boards with different specifications and orientations of elements. Also, as shown inFIG. 1 , the positions of the through holes correspond to the positions of the elements on the circuit board to be tested. This arrangement can reduce the number of through holes required, thereby simplifying the manufacturing process of thedetection panel 141 and decreasing the cost. - Optionally, the through hole is a circular hole, the
conductive block 1421 is a cylinder, and theinsulative post 1422 is a cylinder. The diameter of the bottom surface of theconductive block 1421 is larger than the diameter of the through hole. - In some of the above exemplary embodiments, the through hole may be a circular hole, and the
insulative post 1422 may be a cylinder, so that the movement of theinsulative post 1422 in the through hole is more flexible, the resistance is less, and the falling of theconductive block 1421 during reset is more facilitated. Theconductive block 1421 may be a cylinder, and the diameter of the bottom surface of theconductive block 1421 is larger than the diameter of the through hole to prevent thedetection post 142 from falling out of the through hole after theconductive block 1421 falls. The through hole can also be a square hole, theinsulative post 1422 can also be a cuboid, and theconductive block 1421 can also be a square block. The shapes of the through hole, theconductive block 1421 and theinsulative post 1422 are not limited to the examples provided in the present disclosure and can be set according to actual conditions. - Optionally, the material of the
insulative post 1422 includes at least one of plastic, silica gel, and rubber. - In some of the above exemplary embodiments, the
insulative post 1422 may be made of plastic, silica gel, rubber, or the like. The material ofinsulative post 1422 is not limited to the examples provided in this disclosure and can be set according to actual conditions. Theinsulative post 1422 is made of insulating material, which can be insulated when contacting with elements on the circuit board to be tested to avoid damage of elements caused by static electricity or electric leakage. - Optionally, the lifting
control assembly 13 includes a liftingcontroller 131 and alift column 132. The liftingcontroller 131 is configured to be electrically connected with thedata processing assembly 12 and drive the liftingcolumn 132 to lift according to the control signal sent by thedata processing assembly 12. Thelifting column 132 is configured to be connected with thedetection panel 141, and drive thedetection panel 141 to lift under the control of the liftingcontroller 131. - In some of the above exemplary embodiments, the
data processing assembly 12 is electrically connected with the liftingcontroller 131, and thelift column 132 is fixedly connected to thedetection panel 141. Thedata processing assembly 12 sends a control signal to the liftingcontroller 131 to drive the liftingcolumn 132 to lift, and thelifting column 132 drives thedetection panel 141 to lift. For example, when detecting missing elements, thedata processing assembly 12 sends a first control signal to the liftingcontroller 131. The liftingcontroller 131 drives thelifting column 132 to be lowered according to the first control signal, and in turn thelifting column 132 drives thedetection panel 141 to be lowered to the preset position. During reset, thedata processing assembly 12 sends a second control signal to the liftingcontroller 131. The liftingcontroller 131 drives thelifting column 132 to rise according to the second control signal, and in turn thelifting column 132 drives thedetection panel 141 to rise back to the initial position. - Optionally, the driving mode adopted by the lifting
control assembly 13 comprises at least one of linear motor driving, pneumatic driving and hydraulic driving. - In some of the above exemplary embodiments, the driving mode adopted by the lifting
control assembly 13 comprises at least one of linear motor driving, pneumatic driving and hydraulic driving. This disclosure is not limited to the examples provided, and can be set according to actual conditions. - Optionally, the
positioning tray 11 is rectangular. - In some of the above exemplary embodiments, the circuit board to be tested is substantially rectangular, so the positioning
tray 11 can also be rectangular so as to be suitable for the circuit board to be tested. Thepositioning tray 11 may be made of an insulating material, which is not limited to the examples provided in this disclosure, and may be set according to actual conditions. - To sum up, in some of the above exemplary embodiments, the device for detecting the missing element on a circuit board comprises a positioning tray, a data processing assembly, a lifting control assembly and a detecting assembly. Wherein the positioning tray supports and positions the circuit board to be tested; the data processing assembly sends a control signal to the lifting control assembly, receives detection data sent by the detecting assembly, and obtains a detection result of a missing element according to the detection data and preset reference data; the lifting control assembly controls the lifting of the detecting assembly according to the control signal; the detecting assembly moves up and down between an initial position and a preset position under the control of the lifting control assembly, and sends detection data to the data processing assembly according to a contact state with the elements on the circuit board to be tested at the preset position. By means of the device for detecting the missing element on a circuit board disclosed by the invention, whether there is any element missing on the circuit board can be detected quickly and efficiently, and compared with an optical detection method, the present device for detecting a missing element on a circuit board has the advantages of accurate and simple testing, low cost, improved efficiency and the like.
- Referring to
FIG. 4 , corresponding to the above-described device for detecting a missing element on a circuit board according to some exemplary embodiments, the disclosure also provides a step flow chart of a method for detecting a missing element on a circuit board. - The method for detecting a missing element on a circuit board comprises the following steps.
- Step 201: Placing the circuit board to be tested at a predetermined position on the positioning tray.
- Specifically, the positioning tray may be provided with a positioning origin, such as point O shown in
FIG. 1 . One point on the circuit board to be tested is coincident with the positioning origin of the positioning tray so as to position the circuit board to be tested and avoid detection errors caused by misalignment. -
Step 202, Sending a control signal to the lifting control assembly by the data processing assembly; Instep 203, controlling the detecting assembly to move up and down between an initial position and a preset position according to the control signal by the lifting control assembly. - When detecting a missing element, the data processing assembly sends a first control signal to the lifting control assembly, and the lifting control assembly controls the detecting assembly to be lowered from an initial position to a preset position according to the first control signal. During reset, the data processing assembly sends a second control signal to the lifting control assembly, and the lifting control assembly controls the detecting assembly to rise from the preset position to the initial position according to the second control signal. Specifically, the thickness a of the circuit board to be tested can be stored in the data processing assembly first. According to the thickness a of the circuit board to be tested and the preset position, the data processing assembly sends a control signal to the lifting control assembly to control the lifting of the detecting assembly. For example, if the distance between an upper surface of the detecting assembly and the preset position is A when the detecting assembly is in the initial position, the detecting assembly is controlled to be lowered B-A to reach the preset position. The thickness a and the preset position of the circuit board to be tested in the present disclosure are not limited in detail and can be set according to actual conditions.
-
Step 204, Sending detection data to the data processing assembly according to a contact state with elements on the circuit board to be tested at the preset position by the detecting assembly. - Specifically, the detecting assembly includes a detection panel and a plurality of detection posts, and each of detection posts includes an insulative post and a conductive block connected to each other. Specifically, taking the detection panel at the initial position as an example, when the detection of a missing element starts, the lifting control assembly controls the detection panel to be lowered, and when the detection panel is lowered to the preset position, the detection panel is set to be at the first level. When the detection panel is lowered, the detection posts will be driven to be lowered; after the detection panel is lowered to the preset position, if there is no element missing on the circuit board to be tested, the insulative post props up the conductive block when contacting with an element on the circuit board to be tested, so that the conductive block is detached from the detection panel. If there is an element missing on the circuit board to be tested, the insulative post corresponding to the missing element will not contact with the element and will not prop up the conductive block, so the conductive block will also contact the detection panel. The initial states of the conductive blocks are all at the second level. When the detection panel is set to be at the first level at the preset position, the conductive block contacts the detection panel and then send the first level to the data processing assembly, and if the conductive block detaches from the detection panel, it will send the second level to the data processing assembly.
- Optionally, when the detection panel is in the initial position, the detection panel is set to be at a second level; wherein the conductive block is also set to be at a second level when contacting the detection panel.
- Specifically, during reset, the detection panel rises, the conductive block falls freely due to gravity and contacts the detection panel when the detection panel rises to the initial position. After the detection panel rises to the initial position, the detection panel is set to be at the second level. Since the conductive block is in contact with the detection panel, the conductive block is also set to be at the second level and the reset is completed.
- Optionally, the first level is a high level and the second level is a low level; Or alternatively the first level is a low level and the second level is a high level.
-
Step 205, receiving the detection data and comparing the detection data with preset reference data to obtain a detection result of a missing element by the data processing assembly. - Specifically, during the detection of a missing element, after the detection panel is set to be at the first level at the preset position, the conductive block send the first level to the data processing assembly when contacting the detection panel, and send the second level to the data processing assembly after detaching from the detection panel. Therefore, the data processing assembly can compare the received level with preset reference data. For example, the preset reference data of a position A of the circuit board to be tested is the second level, and if the first level sent by the conductive block is received, it is determined that there is an element missing at the position A; if the second level sent by the conductive block is received, it is determined that there is no element missing at the position A. Or alternatively, under the condition that the preset reference data of the position A on the circuit board to be tested is at the first level, if the second level sent by the conductive block is received, it is determined that there is an element missing at the position A; if the first level sent by the conductive block is received, it is determined that there is no element missing at the position A. The position of each element on the circuit board to be tested corresponding to each conductive block can be determined according to a Gerber file of the circuit board to be tested. Gerber is a set of document formats used by the circuit board industry to describe the images of circuit boards (circuit layers, solder resist layers, character layers, etc.) as well as drilling and milling data, and is a standard format for image conversion in the circuit board industry.
- In summary, in some exemplary embodiments, the circuit board to be tested is placed at a predetermined position on the positioning tray; the data processing assembly sends a control signal to the lifting control assembly; the lifting control assembly controls the detecting assembly to move up and down between an initial position and a preset position according to a control signal; the detecting assembly sends detection data to the data processing assembly according to a contact state with elements on the circuit board to be tested at the preset position; The data processing assembly receives the detection data and compares the detection data with preset reference data to obtain a detection result of a missing element.
